to the examples already cited (especially Kondo), I would add:
Lavie, Smadar The Poetics of Military Occupation:Mzeina Allegories
of Bedouin Identity Under Israeli and Egyptian Rule. U.California (1990)
Lavie's book is a superb ethnography that incorporates a good many
pomo tendencies, more satisfactorily than many of its merely trendy
companions. From the title, to the graphics of the title page, to the
book and chapter epigraphs, to the way the book is written, to the role
of the author (represented in the text as I/the anthropologist/The One
Who Writes Us), to the consciously polyphonic text, to the photographs,
to Lavie's political identity, awareness, and stance----well, I could
go on and on---but, read the book!
